About Michael Culler
When it comes to your finances, communication is everything.

What is it like working with you?
I try and treat people the way I would want to be treated. People come to see me and are very often panicked and scared. The key for me is to be sure a client understands how bankruptcy works and how I can help them. I spend as much time as a client wants explaining and answering questions. Information is a powerful thing. It makes people feel like they are in control and not just lost and in trouble.
Will you return my calls and emails?
More often than not once I start working on a case I will give the client my cell phone number. Communicating is a key in all law, but especially in Bankruptcy because of Federal Court deadlines and possible contact by creditors. If you need to talk, we will talk, regardless of the day or time. I will also respond to emails you may send within the same day if at all possible.
People say I’m a stickler for?
Making sure you understand how this process works. You won’t be meeting a paralegal, you will meet with me. We will talk as long as we need to be sure you know the way this can help you.
